how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

Read from 74 comments (42 from Reddit, 27 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 11 of them described how it moves.

Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 11 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“Point Break is one of those 90s action movies that a movie buff needs to watch. I mean who wouldn't ? It's Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze !”

“The ending, though cluttered up with some lovey-dovey nonsense, is actually quite exhilarating”

“**_The fast and the furious on the beaches of Southern California_** A young FBI agent (Keanu Reeves) is sent by his superior (Gary Busey) to investigate a surfer gang to find out if they’re a notorious group of bank robbers. Patrick Swayze plays the guru-like leader of the gang while Lori Petty is on hand as a surfer companion. John C. McGinley appears as the FBI chief. "Point Break" (1991) is an action/crime thriller set mostly on the beaches of SoCal that obviously influenced "The Fast”

“**Katherine Bigelow creates a beautiful complex action blockbuster with magnificent depth and chapters.** Wow. Just wow. Point Break is a deep character-driven film full of top-notch action, mind-blowing stunts, and incredible performances. These actors made you fall in love and deeply care about each character and moment in the film. Each actor's portrayal was thoughtful, dedicated, outstanding, and worthy of much more acclaim and awards than received. This film transformed Keanu Reeves into”

“69/100 A new FBI agent goes undercover to infiltrate a bunch of surfing thieves. Basically, this is a testosterone fueled, he-man film with a lot of surfing and skydiving. They throw in a couple bank heists, a couple fights and a car chase to make it a crime thriller and the action is solid. Reeves and Swayze drive the film with humor, comradery and personal drama with Busey and Petty providing excellent support. However, there isn't much here as far as a story and substance. Good but I would”
